EXCLUSIVE: Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion Talk ‘Sexy’ Skims Photoshoot, Wedding Plans and ‘White Lotus’ Spoilers
EXCLUSIVE: Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion talk about their new Skims' Wedding Shop campaign, 'White Lotus' spoilers and more.
Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion said “yes” to Skims. The soon-to-be newlyweds star in the brand’s 2025 Wedding Shop campaign, embracing romance and sensuality in pictures taken by photographer Carin Backoff.
“After about 10 minutes of shooting, I looked at the monitor screen, and then I turned to Abby and said, ‘Should we just use these photos as our wedding invite?’ They’re awesome. The ones in the suit were funny and sexy and playful,” Schwarzenegger told WWD. “I feel like in 10 to 20 years from now, we will show our kids and think of how awesome it was that we got to take photos like this together. Especially right before our wedding.”

In one of the images, Schwarzenegger bares it all while posing next to his fiancée, who is modeling lace intimates. “I’ve seen this trend on TikTok where bridesmaids hand sexy photos to their groom on the wedding day, so now I’m happy that I can have sexy professional photos to make a book of for him as a present. Plus, now I don’t have to do any shopping for the honeymoon. I can just get everything I wore in the campaign,” Champion said.

When it comes to getting spoilers of the show, Champion doesn’t get fiancée privileges. “I offered a trade to Patrick: details on my wedding dress if he gave me clues on the ending to ‘White Lotus.’ He wouldn’t make the deal, so I’ll be watching with the rest of the world,” she said. Meanwhile, Schwarzenegger promises “pure ‘White Lotus’ insanity” is coming. “Anyone who thought the season was slow or was waiting till things started to explode.…Buckle up,” he said.
The couple is set to get married in 2025, but the chosen date and location for the ceremony remain private. “We’ve been together for so long, our families have become so close. But [I’m looking forward] to finally tie the knot in a location that we love, with people we love,” the groom-to-be said.

Champion is also on the anticipation for the big day, and while she won’t reveal any details about her wedding dress, the supermodel already knows what she is packing for their honeymoon — Skims, of course. “There’s so many versatile items in this collection I can see myself wearing during many different times. I’ll for sure be packing the lingerie for the honeymoon, but don’t tell Patrick,” she said.
As seen in the new campaign, Skims’ 2025 Wedding Shop collection features ultra-feminine intimates, corsets, silky sleepwear, boxers and more items, offering options for pre-wedding events to the honeymoon.
